POOJA GOSWAMIMom of a 10 yr 6 m old girl3 years agoA. Refusal of food at this age can be due to teething majorly or constipation too. If there are symptoms like excessive drooling, mild fever, loose motions, irritation in the gums, etc. then yes, it could be the reason for resisting foods. Try to feed easy to swallow foods or pureed ones. Massage gums with clean finger or cotton cloth to pacify.
If baby is facing difficulty in passing stool or is uncomfortable, then try to include fiber and liquids in the diet as it can also be one of the reasons for not eating food properly. Massage stomach in circular motion and move legs in cycling rotation to improve digestion.
